"Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith towards God, Of the doctrine of baptisms, and laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment." Hebrews 6:1-2
So as we are considering Jesus, Who He is, what He is, how He is, what He is like, consider this: is He repenting from dead works? No, so we too can move past that, because as He is so are we in this world! “Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over Him; For in that He died, He died unto sin once, but in that He liveth, He liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:9-11
Satan and man want us to look at ourselves to see just how powerful God is, but the Truth that has set us free is that we look to Jesus and through Him we live and enjoy the full power of salvation. Jesus is our strength, He is our ability, because we live in the power of His capabilities. He Authors and Finishes our faith. He leads us in the paths of righteousness. He has given us and made us one with His joy, His peace, His Spirit, His love, His power, His freedom, His wisdom and knowledge, and we are now strong in all of the power of His might! Jesus has been freed from ever even considering dead works, and we are now one with Him, we are now His body, His flesh, and His bone, and as He is free from dead works, so are we, even while in this world!
